[DVD NEWS] - Asia Extreme : "YESTERDAY" & "THE WIG"

BRAVE NEW FUTURES AND BAD HAIR DAYS

Tartan Video releases two Asia Extreme films in April. "YESTERDAY" is an action-packed warning of things to come whilst "THE WIG" brings daily fears to a shocking head.

"YESTERDAY"
Starring Kim Yoon-Jin from TV's "LOST"
Back in 1990, a number of schoolchildren disappeared at the same time as a group of top scientists started on a top-secret project. But now it's 2020, and in a newly reunified Korea, retired scientists are being murdered one by one. The Special Investigations team is employed to resolve the matter, but the group leader's son is shot dead and the chief of police is kidnapped. Directed by Jeon Yun-sun and featuring Shiri's Kim Yoon-Jin (better known as Sun Kwon in the hit TV series, "LOST"), it's a Hollywood-style spectacle on cloning with explosive set pieces in a beautifully executed vision of the future that echoes "CHILDREN OF MEN" and "THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW".

"THE WIG"
Having successfully recovered from chemotherapy, Su-Hyeon is given a wig by her mute sister. As her vitality starts improving, her behaviour also starts changing as she lashes out at the people around her, including her sister's boyfriend and becomes more erratic. However, discovering the wig has been woven from dead woman's hair, it seems to take demonic possession of anyone who wears it, even driving them to suicide. Korean director Won Sin-Yeon adds brings new dimensions of horror to everyday life which have previously surfaced in movies such as "PHONE" and "DARK WATER" but also focuses on the sisters' psychological relationship. A hell raising and hair-raising experience.

Both titles are anamorphic presentation
Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround ; Dolby Digital 2.0

"YESTERDAY" and "THE WIG" are both release on retail DVD only (rrp £14.99 each)
